Celebrating 10 years of Afrakuma ❤️
I don’t think I would ever get over losing my mother even after 10 years!
This woman would regularly cook our meals, package some nicely and give them out to families in the community who she knew needed food. They didn’t have to ask her first. She didn’t give out things because she didn’t need them. She gave things out of kindness and love.
Sometimes I even have to fight her after I finish my food and don’t get full 😂 She had already taken the rest to people to eat 🤦🏽♂️
A decade has passed, and I am still grappling with the reality. The first year without my mother was a difficult period, filled with uncertainty and doubt. I questioned how I would navigate my tertiary education and who would assume the supportive role my single mother had been taking for years.
My faith became my anchor. Now, ten years later, I can only acknowledge God's grace in my life. My mother's legacy continues to inspire me, and I hope to replicate her influence on my children and others.
She instilled in me the values of being a supportive and compassionate individual, to love unconditionally, and to exhibit kindness to all.
Being an adult now has made me appreciate her even more. Such love and kindness can only come from a genuine place.
Wherever you are Afrakuma, you know how much I appreciate you and always wanted to make you proud.
I would always talk about you because I know you loved humanity and you did your best!
Da yie!
